The world mourns the greatest cricket writer of his generation. He went where others dared not to – long may he be remembered.

A Slice of South African Life

Returning from Ulu-Lapa we stopped at a gas station near to Middelberg for a comfort break and some refreshment. Entering the parking area we spotted this taxi with its trailer piled to the sky – heading for Maputo we were told. Unfortunately after the passengers had refuelled, the taxi driver decided to take the wrong exit : problem! Too high and the substantial pile of plasticware on top fo the load slipped backwards and prevented the taxi from getting back on to the highway!
Much discussions, head scratching and repeated attempts to drive under the barrier saw the taxi eventually reverse out through the IN lane and on to the freeway.
Only in Africa, I’m afraid.
Here he comes, into the parking lot
No entry
The driver's assistant tries manfully to unjam the problem
Now the driver is out of the vehicle to examine the chaos he has caused
